Carrier Liability
Protect your interests with all-risk coverage
International shipments that are not properly insured may expose your business to countless financial risks. Recovering cargo losses from carriers can prove difficult since carriers have limited liability—even on declared value shipments.

This is especially challenging for global shipments when considering how many carriers encounter your cargo during transit.
Avoid questions of liability with all-risk insurance coverage.
